Post Body

I have several pdf copies of textbooks--a few I own, the rest I can download copies or see hard copies in the library. I get pretty weary reading pdfs and would like a bound version of a few texts.

What're the legal (US) and ethical implications of taking a pdf to KinkEx and getting a pretty bound copy? I'm of the opinion all information (established and theoretical) should be public domain, but I doubt the publishers would feel the same way...From a legal standpoint, as long as I don't distribute or sell these copies--am I relatively safe?
